Watchtower apologists will accuse anyone who makes unflatering observations about the organization as liers. No amount of rationality, explanations, or evidence will satisfy them.
The question is: should Franz be obligated to answer every accusation of lying from Watchtower apologists? If the Governing Body is not willing to subject themselves and the writing department to public scrutiny regarding their revisionist history and shoddy research; why should Ray Franz have to answer accusations about COC?
To this date, the Watchtower still has not released the names of the New World Translation Committee or the names of those who are writing their blood policies.
Franz has already received incredible public scrutiny in the subsequent years after the publishing of his two books. A far cry from the G.B. members who get the luxury of hiding in their ivory tower as they continue to lob stones at other religions and publish grandiose assertions without having to publicly explain themselves.
When Ted Jaracz is willing to sit down with Dateline NBC, then I would say Ray Franz can answer his accusations.
